Marcus Price, CEO of PEXA Ltd, the organisation behind the platform on which e-conveyancing is to occur, reflects on the change and PEXA's role in this way:

PEXA heralds a new dawn in the exchange of property in this country with the introduction of online lodgement and financial settlement; a world first achievement. A national e-Conveyancing system of this nature has been a long time coming and the success of this initiative is testament to the incredible support PEXA received from the Banks, Land Registries, Reserve Bank of Australia, State Revenue Offices, Property Lawyers, Conveyancers and their peak bodies. PEXA provides tangible time and cost efficiencies to the entire conveyancing industry but it also delivers something more; greater certainty and security to the Australian public.
